ABSTRACT:
The synergistic herbicidal compositions of the invention comprise a non-phytotoxic crop oil, a surfactant, and a hydrophobic mycoherbicide spore. This composition is useful to control undesirable plants, generally referred to as weeds, by application of the composition with standard agricultural spray equipment to the undesirable plant. Exemplified herein is the application of Alternaria cassiae spores in mixture with well-known non-phytotoxic crop oil:surfactant products to the well-known weed, sicklepod. The results, as shown in Table 1, are dramatically synergistic and, thus, presage a high degree of practical utility for the subject invention in weed control.
